01)?: Hey, did you hear that??: Hear what??: That radio broadcast!!?: It all sounds like rubbish to me! What did SHE say about it??: Miss Luida??: She's preparing to give them a response, as we speak!!?: Hurry, or we'll miss it!!?: I just can't believe all of this...?: Honestly...what is going on here??: Can...they really help us??: After we've done this much??: Of course, it'd be wonderful if they really could save us...?: But it doesn't seem it'll happen.?: After all...?: the "Ark" is going to reach us sooner or later.?: And then, the human race that has lived on this plant for one hundred and fifty years, will be successfully wiped out.

02)#3. THUNDERCLAP

03)V: What a great place!V: You can see the whole town from here.V: Isn't it wonderful?V: Moments like these will go down in history.

04)L: Vash!!

05)L: Long time no see.L: What's wrong...L: ...with your face?V: There!! Those are the eyes I've been waiting for!!L: Unbelievable.L: Are you telling me you've just been loafing around this whole time?V: Ah, but at a time like this...V: More than anything, I just wanted to sit and think for a while..L: In any case...L: I've finished my calculations. If we combine the remaining power we have along with all the power we will receive from the Earth fleet...L: ...we could really put some pressure on Knives, as he is now.L: ---and,L: best of all...?: MISS LUIDA!!L: He seems quite distressed.L: Let's go explain things to him.V: What? You mean you want me to come too?L: Of course. After all, you have firsthand experience with all of this...

06)B: Come on, we don't have much time!B: Let's begin by checking all the luggage!?: Come on!M: Eh?M: Wait a minute...M: Where's Mr. Priest?M: Didn't you two come here together?

07)L: Uh--B: The priest...B: That capricious guy...B: ...he told us he was going on a journey. To a faraway place.B: Who knows...B: ...if we'll ever get to meet him again.

08)M: Ah...is...is that so?M: Too bad.M: We should have at least had a farewell party for him...M: Hehe....M: Gusu...M: Ehhh..ehh...ehhh...M: UWEHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

09)SFX: GyuuSFX: PinSFX: Pan SFX: Pan x 4

11)Z: He's collecting an unbelievable amount of energy...Z: It looks like the atmosphere itself is about to crumble.Z: The stars themselves are shaking in fear.Z: "We" have been condemmed.

12)Z: Such power is truly an incredible thing, But to think...Z: ...that you would go as far as to swallow up the stars themselves...Knives...Z: Also...Z: I'm still burnt...Z: ...about this injury!Box: You'd think he'd be able to shake it off.?: The most important thing is making contact! We must tell them everything about our current situation and send them data about the "Ark!"?: Even though we have no idea who they are?!?: Do we really have grounds to believe that they are not hostile??: Well, if you think about it, if they wanted to kill us, we would probably be dead by now.? (large bottom): There's another way to do this, you know.

13)L: ...I want you all...L: ...to reconsider everything for a moment.L: The #1 goal of the "Ark" right now is to collect as much Plants as possible.L: This is purely conjecture -- but it seems highly likely that the ships from Earth are powering their fleet on a huge collection of Plants. L: Between us and them...who do you think has more manpower on them? Is it really worth taking the risk? L: That is why, as of now...I would like to shut down all operations.M: ...so that's how it is.?: Mayor?!

14)M: But it will not be easy to successfully execute a complete disarmament. M: Even if we tell our military to shut down their operations...don't we still need some last-ditch means of defense?M: This is...M: From back then...M: It was in your coat at Jenora Rock.V: Eh? But how did you...M: During those seven months...M: We searched everywhere.M: Finally, we ended up back at the HQ.

15)M: All these things had been stored there as evidence to the investigation.M: But now that the Bernardelli Insurance Company is no more...M: I suppose they're yours again.V: How'd they get in here??!!M: Milly had two.M: And then, on the ship...G: We have been completely defeated.G: Please, give this to Vash the Stampede.G: It's the rule...

16)M: "Rule"...M: To think that someone would treat such a thing like this as a game...G: It's not a matter of whether I want him to receive it or not...G: The bottom line is, he NEEDS it.G: I dunno much, but I think that is life depends on collecting these.G: Legato Bluesummers said that that was the only way that guy would become worthy of meeting him face to face.V: Ararara...V: Scaryyy!!V: So...they must be kept with me?V: In all honesty, I don't like it.V: But...it seems like I must if I want to continue.V: Thank you.M: By the way, we finished our scan of the ship. It doesn't seem like there's any explosives or even mildly-dangerous weapons on it at all!V: That's what I figured...

17)M: Eh?V: It's just like what he said...V: He only likes doing things the certain way that lets him have "fun."L: Whenever you least expect it...BAM! That'll be the end.L: I'm not the kind of fellow to allow you to choose...

18)R: Brad-kun.B: Just call me Brad.B: What's up?R: Uh...R: ..about before...R: Thank you very much.B: I didn't do it for YOU.B: I just didn't want to have to see her break down right there.

19)B: You...B: You're pretty strong, huh?R: Huh?B: I heard ya got a pretty good arm, too.R: Oh...B: Lucky.B: I bet there's a lot of cool stuff you can do.B: This isn't the time to have regrets.B: With a little willpower, it's easy for a person to change.B: You owe the priest your life.B: And he's the one who has been accompanying Vash the Stampede all this way.B: But now that he's gone...who's gonna do it?

20)R: Ahh...B: Geez, what's wrong with me?B: When I said it all in my head, it sounded a lot cooler...?: REQUEST?: DENIED!!?: Hey, who do you think you're talking to? This is an order, not a request!!?: In instances where the orders are unreasonable, dismissal is allowed.?: I'm invoking that regulation right now.

21)M: Listen to me...the situation from before has changed drastically. If we want to be prepared for what is to come, it is imperative that we do this!!M: I want you to implement the non-aggressive defense policy immediately.M: This will be the first step to a new era of peace.?: And mobilizing troops is the first step to proper defense and certain victory!?: Those who are defeated have no choice but to go with the flow of history.?: Those who win, however...can change the world for themselves!!L: As of now, it's a stalemate.L: That's why you need to listen to me for a second...L: General Margester.L: You--

22)L: Do you really think, that if we continue operations the way they are...making contact with the "Ark" and the fleet at the same time...L: ...that we will have any hope of success at all?M: Oh, look at this.M: Wait these are...1200 45-caliber steel jacket bullets...M: These aren't the kind your gun uses.M: What the heck are we gonna do about this?V: Ah, uh...V: Hmm, that is a problem...M: Ah...I guess I'll have to re-order for different bullets then.V: ...ah.V: Thanks...V: But don't worry. I can do it myself!

23)M: ...sheesh.M: You're really somethin', ya know.M: You don't even worry about how to do something, you just automatically assume that you'll figure out some backwards-ass way to do it all by yerself.M: How sad is that?M: I know you're hella worried about those around ya, but still...M: ...haven't you ever considered that it worries people even more to see you suffering like that for them?M: Don't tell me you've never noticed the two gals...M: They can't restrain themselves like that.M: Your world is a dangerous place, and they know that, but they stick by you because they want to help you. Box: No restraint in the usage of alcohol either!M: You just need to learn to depend on them some more, man.M: That's the mark of a true man. Everyone friggin' knows that.

24)V: ....chV: Such heartfelt words...V: I...V: I don't know what I'll do if you say any more!!V: Why is it like this? M: ..?!M: You're crying...M: ...aren't you overdoing it?!SFX: Wah...V: I can't remember anymore...
